    What’s in a Name ...

    Effie Burns is not a name you likely know, but one that is near and dear to our hearts. Grandmother to owner and developer Tom Becnel, it is her essence on which our hotel was built. As the ultimate hostess, Effie welcomed each and every guest with open arms, as family. Her gift was to make you feel like you were the only person in the room, all with genuine hospitality as refreshing as a glass of sweet tea and a cool breeze on a rocking chair porch. Just like our namesake, Hotel Effie is full of charm, elegance, and gracious personality.

    Best Resort on the Emerald Coast

    Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

    Of course we have our flawless white-sand beach and emerald green water. But this is more than a place to stay. This is a welcoming resort community with every activity and amenity imaginable. Adventures in or on the water. Days spent outside, finding where the meandering path leads. Restaurants serving fresh local-catch seafood and nightclubs for dancing the night away. The memories practically make themselves.
